My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 220 Drive Them Out

"I think that we have to look at the evidence about whether these gentlemen slandered Ms. Madden or not, not just by relying on what others say. Don't you agree?" Mrs. Leigh suddenly let go of her husband's arm, stepped forward, and said to the crowd with a meaningful smile.

The crowd nodded, feeling that it was justified.

Lyra's heart skipped a beat when she looked at the smile on Mrs. Leigh's face. An ominous feeling instantly rose, causing her body to tense.

Julien sensed Lyra's strange behavior and lowered his head to ask her, "What's wrong?"

"I... I'm fine." Lyra forced a smile on her face. "I'm just hurting a little from the fall. Julien, can you take me to the doctor?"

Her intuition told her to get out of this place right away.

Otherwise, something beyond her control would happen.

Julien subconsciously wanted to tell her that he would take her after this matter was resolved.

However, when he looked at Lyra's begging eyes, he finally nodded and agreed.

He held Lyra's arm and turned to leave.

Sydney's sharp eyes narrowed and she called out to them coldly, "Stop. This matter hasn't been cleared up yet. Where do you think you're going?"

"Exactly. You guys said that Sydney pushed Lyra, but my darling is still standing here without leaving. Why are you leaving instead? Are you feeling guilty?" Luke also said.

Hunter and Layden nodded as well.

A trace of mockery flashed in Mrs. Leigh's eyes.

"We're not leaving," Lyra turned around with reddened eyes and said in an aggrieved voice, "I'm in pain so I want to see a doctor. Julien can testify."

Julien nodded slightly, indicating that she was telling the truth. "We'll come back after seeing the doctor."

"Who knows how long it'll take before you guys come back?" Layden crossed his arms and said in a cold voice.

"Exactly. You can't go to a doctor by yourself either. What if the injury gets worse? It's better to call the doctor over. Is that all right, Mrs. Leigh?" Hunter looked at Mrs. Leigh.

Mrs. Leigh nodded. "Of course."

Then, she beckoned a waiter and told him to get a doctor.

Lyra was too late to stop them and could only watch as the waiter walked away. Her heart burned with

fury.

'I knew it.

'These people are all targeting me. They're not letting me leave on purpose!'

"Ms. Madden, your expression seems a bit odd. Is it because you're not happy that we called a doctor for you? You can't be like that. We're doing this for your own good. It's bad enough if you're not grateful, but how could you get angry as well? You're too much." Luke looked at Lyra and criticized her with an expression saying that she was very insensible.

The others also echoed, "Yes, Ms. Madden. That's not right of you."

"You..." Lyra was going mad with anger.

Julien patted her shoulder. "All right, Lyra. They're right. You shouldn't be angry."

’I..." Lyra's body trembled.

'I'm not angry about that.

'I'm angry because these people are stopping me from leaving!'

However, she could not say those words. She could only try her best to suppress her anger and stopped talking.

Soon, the doctor came.

Everyone was watching, so Lyra did not dare to refuse and could only let the doctor examine her.

After the doctor finished the examination, he said," The lady is fine. She just has a minor scrape on her arm. Just put a band-aid on it."

"All right. Send the doctor out," Mrs. Leigh said to the waiter who brought the doctor over.

After the waiter and the doctor left, Sydney brushed her hair and said, "Well, the farce is over. Since Ms. Madden is fine, let's continue to deal with the matter from earlier. Let's hurry up and find out how exactly Ms. Madden fell and wrap things up."

"Hmph, no matter what you say, you can't wash away the fact that you pushed Lyra." Kate pointed at Sydney.

Julien coldly glanced at Kate as a trace of resentment rose in his heart.

For some reason, he did not like the people who accused Sydney.

Brandon also continued, "Ms. Morgan is right. There's nothing more to say in this matter. Mrs. Leigh, if she could come here, it means she must’ve gotten an invitation from you. However, I think that it's better to drive away a person with such horrible character, lest she ruins the banquet."

Julien frowned deeply. "Brandon, this matter hasn't been cleared up yet."

"What else is there to clear up? Ms. Morgan already said what she saw clearly, and there were so many people present who saw it as well. Julien, don't tell me that you're protecting your ex-wife." Brandon stared at him with wide eyes.

Lyra even sobbed sadly twice.

Julien’s heart was a little annoyed. He pulled his tie and said in a low voice, "I'm not protecting anyone, but we should look at the evidence for such matters. Even if they saw it, where's the evidence?"

Sydney looked at him in astonishment. It was clear that she was surprised that he said something fair.

This was not like him at all.

He had always believed in Lyra without limits.

"Hmph, if you ask me, I think you're just protecting your ex-wife." Brandon's gaze turned to Sydney and grew sinister. "I didn't expect that you're this good at hooking up with men. The multiple men around you aren't enough, even your ex-husband..."

"You old b*stard, what did you say? I'll beat you up!" Luke was furious. He raised his fist and was just about to charge over.

"Luke, stop!" Sydney pursed her red lips and stopped him loudly.

Hunter also went forward to pull Luke back. "Enough, Luke, stop it. I know that you're angry. I'm angry too, but you can't hit him. We didn't see how Lyra fell, but if you hit Brandon, everyone present would have seen it. It'll be troublesome if that happens."

Although Layden was a little regretful that Luke did not punch Brandon, he already decided in his heart that he would teach Brandon a lesson when he went back later.

Brandon did not know that he was being targeted. He took a step back in fear and then pointed at Luke in shame and anger. "How dare you try to hit me? Mrs. Leigh, didn't your family screen the people they invited? How could you have invited someone like that?"

Mrs. Leigh laughed. "You're right. It's indeed my fault for inviting people without screening them." NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Then, her smile suddenly dropped and her expression became austere. She shouted, "Guards, throw Mr. and Ms. Madden out!"

Once those words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Should it not be Sydney and the others being expelled? Why were Brandon and Lyra being chased out instead?

The crowd started discussing.

Even Sydney and the others were confused.

When they heard Mrs. Leigh's initial words, they thought that they would be the ones expelled.

They did not expect it to be Brandon and Lyra.

Julien looked at Mrs. Leigh. His eyelids lowered as he seemed to understand something, and he rubbed his brows tiredly. He also let go of his hand which was originally half-embracing Lyra.

He suddenly said, "Lyra, I'm very disappointed!" "Julien..." Lyra panicked and tried to grab his sleeve, but he avoided her.

Her heart instantly sank to the bottom.

Her intuition was right. Mrs. Leigh's smile earlier was very odd.

Sure enough, the situation now was completely beyond her expectation and control.

Brandon's expression was hideous. "Mrs. Leigh, are you joking?"

"Of course, not." Mrs. Leigh smiled as she looked at him.

Brandon's face twitched several times. "May I ask for the reason? We're clearly the victims, but you're driving us away instead. If you don't give us a reason, it'll come off as you being ill-founded, and after today, the Leigh family will become the Madden family's enemies."

"Mr. Madden, are you threatening my wife?" Mr. Leigh asked with a fake smile.

Brandon's voice stiffened. "I wouldn't dare. I just don't think it's fair to me."

"Don't worry, I'm a person who always deals with things fairly. I naturally have my reasons for driving you away, one of which is your daughter." Mrs. Leigh looked at Lyra. 2
